My mom's complaining that she lost all of her friends on Facebook because she's liberal.
Because she's like a liberal now.
Wait, what?
Whoa.
Whoa.
What?
What?
This is huge.
Yeah.
Because my mom's now a lib.
Okay.
She's horseshoed.
Start.
She's like, she's like all of my, all my MAGA friends don't mess with me anymore because I'm lived out.
And I'm like, why are you lived out?
She's like, well, I just, you know, I'm like talking against like ICE and like foreign intervention and like foreign wars.
And she's like, let's go.
She's like, this is wrong.
and all of her mega friends are disowning her.
Wow.
But the liberals don't like me either because I think that like Satan is in charge of the world.
So she's just kind of, she kind of stuck.
When did she get anti-ice?
Because I assumed she would love them.
No, she told me the other day, she was like, I would hide migrants in my house.
Wow.
Yo, wouldn't you?
Miss stags, let's go.
But she's always been on that way.
Wouldn't you also, though?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's crazy.
Puerto Rico is part of America.
I don't know what to do for y'all.
No, wouldn't you, like, if you knew them, like,
if it's just someone you know, someone you care about, somebody you work with.
I had the caveat, yeah.
Strangers.
Yeah, yeah, that's.
But she would mean strangers.
She means she would take them.
Yeah, I think she does.
I think she means strangers.
Like, assuming, like, they're good, like, they're not, like,
She was seven kids.
She was having fucking people.
She didn't even know in the house.
But when it comes to an actual person that you care about.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
And like, you heard ICE was coming and they were like,
you know, I got to stay inside.
You're going to whistle?
No, you would fucking.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
And if somebody was like, is anybody here, you say no.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
Then you ask for a discount on that landscape.
You would lie?
Probably.
You'll miss his last line.
What did you say?
Hold on.
No, no.
It's all right.
Don't worry about it.
It's just for good people.
For the good people, listen.
You're going to really make me replay the episode of Find Out?
Yeah, that's it. You got to replay the episode to find out.
I'll probably repeat it again later.
Oh, no.
You know what I mean?
Let me get that drink.
No, you would lie.
I don't know if Mark could lie.
His conscience is too guilty.
So how would you get around the lie?
You can omit.
You can omit.
What's the question?
Are you hiding migrants in your house?
No.
No.
Oh, okay.
They're not hiding.
They're working.
Also, they've already migrated.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm hiding migrated.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
There's also migrants almost
implies legal. These are illegal immigrants.
Also, you don't know that they're
illegal. Also, you don't know that they're illegal.
That's another thing. You don't know
that they're illegal. I don't know where they're born. I don't know
what their deal is.
Gay illegals. There's some people in my house. That's all you need to know.
Nah, that's good. You got to hide. You got to hide them.
Yeah. Is there anyone in your house
besides you? Yes.
Who are they? My wife.
And?
No one else to my knowledge.
You're a liar. Oh, that's a lie.
Oh, also. I don't know where he's at. Honestly, I don't know. I don't know where. That's a good-ass point. I forgot. But then I'd be like, yeah, no, also my kid. And then I would just leave it at that. You got to do it, dude. Come on now. All human beings are worthy of human dignity.
Would I do what? Yeah, he would. Would you hide some migrants? Yeah. And he would lie. The way he lied to get you out of Swiss jail or Swedish prison or whatever it was, he would lie like that. He would be the best liar. I didn't even lie.
Wait.
Well, I thought you said you lied for him this last time.
I said the black guy did it.
That's why he was in jail in the first place.
They came up trying to arrest me.
I was like, I think it's that guy over there.
It's infiltrated your country.
You really were the first, dude.
Technically, he did lie.
Because the guy was claiming that I hit him like 15 times.
And he's like, he basically was like, look at him.
He comes.
Take out of his 15 times.
He's hitting him with 15 punches in like two seconds and some shit like that.
And then he counted it.
He was like, one, two.
This is on the stand by the way.
I did swing.
And I had my form good too because I was like, this is being recorded.
I can't have this out here in the streets.
Are you in a suit?
Say again?
Were you in a suit?
No, I don't think I was in a suit.
Couldn't even show up in a suit.
Yeah.
Like, I'm going to buy a suit in Sweden.
They went to suits?
Yeah, that's a good point.
I showed up with the wooden shoes.
I had the country wrong.
Like, sir, why are you wearing clogs in the corner?
Isn't this professionalism?
Yeah, is what you guys do?
Yeah.
Did you bob and weave while you were in there?
Yeah.
You're like, bang, bang, bang, bang, blimp.
Racial epithet.
The weight.
It doesn't a punch.
He's a lover, bro.
I know, I know.
You got to make him underestimate you.
It's all right.
You got to make him underestimate you.
People are watching me.
They're like, oh, he can't punch.
And then they try to slide him in the street.
And then all of a sudden you hit him with the fucking.
You've talked about Jesus.
Oh, was that a gentleman.
jab or a hook. I'm glad you're going to. Bang, bang.
It's a pair for something that doesn't exist.
That's phenomenal strategy there, Mark.
You never have to get ready if you're staying not ready.
Exactly. That's smart, right?
You would pack that thing, though.
Oh, I hit them with the gli-gly-glo-a-boom.
You got to go to gli-gly-a-boom.
No, you got to hide some migrants, dude. You have to.
Yeah.
You got to.
Now, if you don't know them, it's tricky.
Mm-hmm. Right?
Because they're going to make you convert to Islam.
Exactly.
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
They're going to radicalize you.
That's what you got to worry about.
Do you think they tried that with Aunt Frank at all?
You think at any point they were up to there, like, you know, you just want to be Christian.
There's a quick fix.
If you just want to choose up, you probably will be good.
But wait a minute, Hitler wasn't religious at all.
No.
The Catholics were getting it.
The Jews were getting it.
Oh, Catholics were getting it?
Yeah.
Maximilian Colbe.
I'm glad you asked.
He's a Catholic priest.
I was in a concentration camp that gave up his spot for freedom in the place.
of someone that was sent us to death.
That's how annoying it is to be around that many Jews.
Is that what you say?
Is that what you say?
Max is like, I got it!
I got it! Get me out of it!
Oh, my God.
It's too much backgammon.
I forget exactly who it was, but they sent him free,
and then they were like, but this kid is going to die
or like a woman or something like that,
and he was like, I'll take their place.
And then he died in the place of someone.
You believed that shit.
I know.
You believe that shit.
Look it up.
They can make up any story.
What's evidence?
Who can make a place?
This is interesting.
He believes the Bible.
Yo.
Yeah.
Can we not talk about the whole, who are you Don Lemon?
I'm going to disrespect the congregation, Al.
How is that disrespect the congregation?
You can't talk about my gay brethren like that.
You're gay brethren.
So what?
You know, see.
Bypass the whole black thing, by the way, when you're talking about brother.
So, so what happened?
They busted in this church because.
one of the pastors
apparently like has the same name
as someone who is an ICE official.
I don't even know if they confirmed
it's the same guy.
So they were protesting, I guess, the church.
But it wasn't even the pastor
that was doing the service right there.
So.
Yeah, well, imagine, dude.
You're just trying to give a nice little church service
help some people.
And then you're a fucking racist.
And you're like, no, it's the other guy
that runs that church.
But we, I don't even think
they've confirmed that the other.
guy is an actual ICE official.
Oh. But it is kind of funny
that like the protesters are
doing the same thing ICE is doing.
That they're just busting into places.
Yeah, we want him. Get him out. Where is he?
He looks like one of them. He looks like a racist.
Yeah. This is why all the ICE people need their names
on their badges. Because now you're getting people mixed up in the crosshairs.
Talk to me. Because if they're like, I don't know, apparently
they're not named. Like apparently they don't have like...
Well, yeah, they got the shystees on.
Exactly.
It's insane.
Yeah.
Right, it is insane.
Yeah.
It's a tough look.
And I think that like because we don't see it in New York, like we're like somewhat detached from it.
New Yorkers would not be going with this shit at all.
Well, didn't they play?
That happening.
Yeah.
Canal.
And we weren't with that shit.
And we were like.
No, no.
On Canal, it's fine.
But they wouldn't be fine with that happened.
Listen, Canal, we've got to clean some stuff up.
That's how my dog is.
That's how this shit works.
New Yorkers is not going to be okay with it.
Forty-second Street.
Get the.
Pikachu's out of there.
But no, I mean...
Pikachu, what about the kiddie pool full of fucking live
fish? That's not... We just got to let that stand?
That's on Mott. That's on Mott Street.
Oh, that's not Chinatown? And it's called
the lunch.
Also that. Yeah, what do you think you're eating down now?
Yeah, yes. But just get it off the fucking street, man. Just put it inside.
Yeah, it is a little peculiar to have the food out there, but...
I kind of like it. New York really does have the best money.
You like ice? No, no, hold on. No, no.
The migrants. New York migrants in particular.
Yeah.
We have the best everything.
Selling bags, you know what I mean?
Got the best everything.
We got the best everything.
Also, have you bought a bag from a Chinese letter that takes you down the alleyway?
Have you ever done this?
You buy him back?
Yeah.
Mark, just say you got a fucking hand job, bro.
He's like, you got a really good Michael Corseback.
Also, you can buy a real Michael Corsebag.
He's got a fake Michael Corsebag.
Yo, hold on.
It's like buying fake Rayban.
That's like that.
I swear to God, this was like, maybe high school, maybe early college.
I went and bought a fake Michael Corzbag.
First, you got to lick your lips, bro, because you got the sech powder all over your lips.
Dude, my lips been so dry since Salt Lake City.
For real. I can't smile because you're going to crack.
Oh, because you went snowboarding.
Yeah, just don't have a chapstick for real.
Okay, go on, go on.
But, uh, how bad is it?
Use your saliva, dude.
No, no, no, I'll do this.
What the fuck is happening?
My love is and cracking.
Have you bought chafstick this whole time?
Oh, please, yes.
Oh, you're alleged.
Yeah, no.
You're saying he's dry, bro.
He said he's pro ice.
He said he's pro ice.
Bad black.
He got Vasily.
The mini one.
The finger one, too.
That's crazy.
My husband has a very black habit to use as a washcloth.
I know.
Yeah, yeah.
That's he wants to know his enemies.
Wait, but hold on.
Finish your story.
You're in Salt Lake.
Finish your story.
I'll reward you.
Finish your story.
Damn.
Damn.
We know how you would have treated Anne Frank.
Yeah.
We know how you would have treated her.
Yeah. I don't know. Something like that, probably with the reward.
I'd hide a migrant. I'd hide a migrant.
Yeah, who would it?
Yeah, but you'd try to fuck.
Because you can't. So,
okay, I'm here.
Turn your kids.
No, I got this gay hockey show.
I'm here. Would you like to learn about hockey?
But, like, you can't hire somebody knowing they're illegal.
Let them work for you. And then when ice comes, act as if you weren't.
part of that whole transaction. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
crazy. Right? Yeah, of course.
Yeah. You got to keep your hookup, too. It's very
important. You can't lose that. Yeah, it's a good point.
Yeah. You got someone that does good work. You know what I mean?
Knows the deal. Yeah. But I was going
on to know, are we arresting criminals
anymore? I think we got
on. Did we get them on? It turns out
there weren't that many. I mean, it was like week one.
Every criminal week one. Yeah, yeah.
And now is just
people working.
All the guys at Home Depot.
Yeah. Yeah.
I think it's just meant to mess with
States. They're just like, oh, I hate Tim Walts. Let's go to Minneapolis.
At what point, do migrants just start wearing blackface?
How's that going to go?
I think I know where he's going with this.
Hear him out.
Hear him out. I'm just saying, like, if you saw a dude in America
wearing blackface, you wouldn't assume they're migrant.
You would assume they're MAGA.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So ice would probably be like, nah, he's cool.
Like, he's like one of us.
Yeah. Don't you think?
But most of them are like Hispanic.
Yeah, but you're covering that.
I never seen Hispanic in Blackfish.
You're covering that.
It might never be done.
So he must not be Hispanic.
How else can you tell us?
He must be white.
How else can you tell that they're Hispanic if you cover it?
Is there any other indicating markers for you well?
What's the indicating markers?
I don't know.
The hands, maybe.
Five three, two hundred forty.
A little gut, boxing bill.
You know how I knew I was fat in middle school besides the mirror?
my principal always thought I was Mexican.
Every time he saw me, he would say,
Ola, amigo. And I was like, God damn, I'm short and fan.
That's because that's all they had down there.
Yeah.
It was just white to Mexican.
Yeah, that came out of color back then.
Every time he saw me,
Ola, amigo.
Damn.
They hit you with a gordo ever?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got him with that by Mexicans.
That's a term of an deer, man, bro.
Oh, bet.
All right.
They like me.
They like my little chubby ass.
That's love.
That's love right there.
No, we got to shut down.
We got a shut down ice.
We got to focus it in like a more specific area.
Yeah, yeah.
What are you thinking?
That town upstate in New York.
You saw this?
The name is hilarious.
It's called Curious Joel.
Curious Joel.
Yeah.
I don't know this story.
Which is just a funny name for a town.
Please try to find that video.
So Dave, what's the guy named Tyler Oliva?
Yeah.
This shit is hilarious, bro.
So go.
Well, basically, he goes to this town.
This is an upstate.
And it is, like, predominantly Hasidic Jewish, which is a specific subset of, like, Orthodox Judaism.
And he's basically making the claim that they're all on welfare.
Yeah.
I don't want to misrepresent his video.
I didn't see the whole thing.
But these are the clips I saw on Twitter.
And he's basically going around interviewing people being, like, what do you do for work?
Who are you?
Like, how do you make your money?
And, yeah, the title, Inside the New York Town invaded by welfare.
addicted Jews.
Kind of a
tough name.
Welfare addicted.
Oh my God.
Okay.
And, uh...
Yeah, we need him.
Yeah, I didn't see the whole thing, so I don't want to speak out of term.
But basically the claim is like they're all just stealing from the government.
They're all faking being on welfare to leech.
And it seems like right now people are not happy about it.
Yeah.
He didn't have to go all the way to upstate New York, though.
Yeah, so I was on there.
Williamsburg, right?
Yeah, you could do it right there in Brooklyn.
Like the Elton.
Yeah.
If Tyler lives.
in New York City.
Guys, very, very cool show.
Part of the Netflix Comedy Fest.
I know that they announced a million different shows.
This is a pretty cool one.
Jellyroll and I are going to be doing the
beautifully broken comedy night, okay?
Jelly's going to host it.
I'm going to be doing it.
We've got some special guests that we can't
announce just yet.
I think
that you can maybe assume
they're going to be special.
May 8th, 2020.
the Greek theater in L.A.
It's going to be a wild night.
You know, I fucking love Jelly.
He's the man, and it's awesome that he wants to do.
You know, host his comedy show.
You know Jelly's going to be doing music.
We're going to get all sorts of people out there.
I mean, yeah, I don't know.
I'm very excited for it.
I want to do something a little different for the festival this year.
So I'm stoked to be a part of it.
There's going to be some other cool people that are going to be a part of it,
which we will not announce now for probably contractual reasons.
Jelly's well-connected.
He knows a couple people.
So I think it's going to be a pretty special night.
Anyway, I want to see you guys out there.
The pre-sale is live now.
You can go use the code Andrew.
You can go get those tickets right now.
We'll see you May 8th with the man.
Jelly.
Love you dogs.
Very excited for this.
Peace.
All right, guys, knocking out all of our dates now.
First of all, the Wilbur.
We sold out.
Thank you so much.
We got tickets available for Foxwoods, January 24th.
And this is exciting.
First few weeks of February,
I'm going to be in Australia.
and New Zealand, so get your tickets,
Akash Singh.com. Also, let's do
Mark Gagnon Pro Comic February 19. February 19,
the Washington, D.C. And February 22nd,
Charlotte, North Carolina. Let's go.
Do it want a benefit
for the Food Bank of New York. Ronnie Chang is going to be there.
Samariel is going to be there. Get your tickets
as soon as you can Saturday, January 24.
Mark Gagnon. Oh, let's go.
Yo, this Saturday, it's the best date night
in all of New York City. So I'll see you guys there.
Bang. They have great electronic stores. Shout out B&H.
We don't know what entertainment in New York City would be without you.
Shout out B&H.
Doing a great job.
Best store in the world.
Best store.
It is kind of hilarious to buy the most high-tech electronic equipment from a guy who looks like he's from the 1600s.
Like there's no, you're looking at him like, there's no way you know how to use this.
And they know it well.
Everything.
That's crazy.
Everybody there got to have a college education like in the thing they're talking about.
Oh, really?
Yeah, some weird.
Huh.
Yeah.
And like they sneak like black Cossitic Jews in there too.
Yeah.
It's a really fun adventure walking around the store.
They've got to expand. That would be great for Jewish PR.
You just put a B&H in every major city in the South in particular.
And watch the views on Jews start to change.
Suddenly we're a little more pro-Semite.
You could make an argument that they're responsible for all the negative views on Jews from selling the equipment.
They just filmed this documentary.
They just shut down the stores.
There would be no YouTube videos made about them.
They don't control the media.
They do control the cameras.
They do a lot of the cameras.
They do.
They do
But yeah, dude, you'll talk to a guy
in full 1800s Polish
gear, asking him about like camera
settings, he's like, oh yeah, yeah, no, you need to be on this frame, right?
This is, yeah. And then you just gets a
flip phone call. Dude, they got
the flip phone calls. I told you... They're like drug dealers.
The bad part is that they celebrate
the Sabbath or whatever. Oh, no, the bad part
is they celebrate every fucking holiday, so you'll go there on a
random Wednesday and it's shut down. Like
Saturday, how do you close on a Saturday?
That's when everybody shops. Remember
nobody beats the whiz? Yeah.
They did.
They're open like three days a week and they still beat every other electronic store.
Dude, did I tell you, because my wife works within the Hasidic community.
And so she was in the apartment one day with all these Hasidic women.
And one of them gets a phone call.
Does she get paid at EBT?
Isn't it fun to make welfare jokes?
I know.
I know.
Hi, I'm free.
I'm okay.
We did it, baby.
That was his dream.
Dude, she's sitting in the apartment and the girl gets a phone call on her phone,
and it literally goes,
dun-d-d-d-dun-dun-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d- that's kind of funny.
And she goes, why?
And she's like, well, it's jingle bells.
Yeah.
She was like, what's that?
I swear to a sham, bro.
She's like, that's a Christmas song.
She's like, really?
I just thought it sounded nice.
And she's like, yeah, it's like Christmas song.
She goes, oh, okay, cool.
I had no idea.
I'd never heard of jingle bells in her life.
Open the window, drop the phone out of it.
They had no idea.
So they do live in like a very insulated bubble.
Yeah, it is fascinating.
We used to like drive through it.
As a kid, my dad would like take us through it.
You got to check this out.
And he's like, they're living like it's the 1700s still.
Yeah.
And it was cool to see.
I don't know why he would do it.
Yeah.
He was taking you to the zoo or something?
Like, what the fuck?
It was like a human zoo.
No, it was like, this is a throwback.
He's like, don't roll down a window.
Like, it is crazy.
I run through that neighborhood when I'm...
I live right on the edge of it.
Hunting?
You don't be hunting.
You don't run.
Who's getting circumcised?
I want to see.
But it's fun neighborhood to run through
because you're the only one.
Everyone else is like speedwalking and like doing...
It's just such a fun neighborhood to go through.
I really enjoy it.
That's how you got to feel fast.
Truly.
Shout out them, no.
Shout out them.
I got a fake vaccine from y'all that didn't work, but shout out y'all, man.
I got a fake, was it a vaccine or the booster?
I forgot what I got, but I went out to Williamsburg, and I got that shit.
It was the booster, because you got the actual vaccine.
I got the vaccine.
I know.
You really went the whole time without getting it?
All right.
I mean, I don't know if that's stuff we're allowed.
Oh, yeah, the Hasidic Frogger for the marathon?
Yes.
Every year they do the New York City Marathon cuts right through their neighborhood.
You know what they call their neighborhood?
The Silent Mile, because no one cheers.
Oh, that's so fun.
There's no one down there cheering.
It's all just neighborhood.
Oh, that's hilarious.
Got to lock in.
Pun it today.
Yeah, dude.
Yeah.
That is so funny.
I love them.
I love New York.
New York is the best.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, part of me is just like, it's literally 17 degrees outside right now.
Right.
So we're about to go to New York.
Come on.
Come on.
Because I felt myself buying in.
And then I was like, what am I fucking talking about?
It's 17 degrees outside.
Why is it so cold, though?
Why are we here?
Thank you.
What are we doing?
Thank you.
What are we doing it?
What an invalid question I'm bringing up.
What an asshole I am.
I'm not.
I'm indulging it.
Where should we be?
Where should we be?
Southern California.
San Diego.
Greatest city in America.
You love San Diego.
It's perfect.
It's paradise.
It's perfect.
It's nice.
It's nice.
It's a very small Punjabi community. No, I'm kidding.
It's the best weather on earth. People are friendly. The traffic isn't bad.
So all the things that you like about L.A. are there, but none of the things you hate.
There's no Hollywood phonies.
Food is pretty good. Not great. Pretty good. Especially for Cali.
It's just, what's wrong with living there? It's great.
Strong military presence.
Strong military. That is, dude, a liberal state with a Republican city or vice versa.
That's the way to do it.
You need a liberal fucking Austin in Texas, conservative state, or a Republican state.
or a Republican San Diego
in a liberal state.
The Ying and Yang, they balance each other out.
Because they don't get too far.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I would say...
New York is a socialist.
We are socialists now.
We looked at a communist
that I pretend isn't a communist
because I like brown people.
You know what I mean?
We'll take it.
We'll take it.
Zoh's not a communist.
I know. I love him.
It's all loved.
No, what is it?
He changed the Williamsburg Bridge.
You saw this?
He did.
He stopped that little dip.
He blew this shit up.
This first act as mayor was to get rid of the little bump.
The little jump.
Would you get a little air off of when you're coming into?
Always, dude.
And have you ridden on it since?
Yeah, and it's super lame.
That's my big issue.
I thought he was going to build a ramp.
I thought that was his plan.
That'd be fire.
But now he's not.
I'm not alive.
It's, they could have did a better job.
It doesn't look great.
Yeah.
It is safer.
If you're going to make this the big first thing, like,
do it nice it is apparently he did it off a comment someone like commented like yo if you become mayor will
you fix the bridge and he was like it'll be the first thing i do oh that's fire that's great social
promise is smart dude you know what i mean that the guy that is mega for zoron was a guy who was like
yeah i called zoron when he was my elected like official and he got shit done for me immediately
i was like oh that's cool he's very like close ear on the ground kind of guy it's good also i don't know
Did you see Ricky Villas's post?
He was like, ever since Zormor got elected Knicks have been two and eight.
Yeah, it's bad.
It's bad.
So I don't know how he's going to fix that.
It's very bad.
And I haven't come up with the joke yet connecting the two,
but I thought by the second time I said it's bad, I would have one.
And when I got to the third, I was like, I don't think it's coming.
You just felt the pain in the anger.
Yeah, I know it's bad because my group chat was going crazy last time.
Y'all lost in the Mavericks, like by 20 or something shit.
Yeah, DeMaris hit me up.
He's like, I don't know how he did that shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Without Anthony Davis, it's just really embarrassing.
Yeah, something's up.
Something's up.
Are you watching games, Al?
No, you know, I'm a fake New Yorker.
I'm a fake Nick fans, sorry, sorry.
I know, yeah, that was great.
That was crazy.
It was crazy.
You made me feel uncomfortable.
You just think about San Diego.
You saw it?
You made me figure the Akas fucking got you.
I love Cali.
Yeah, yeah, I ain't got a lot.
Like San Diego's.
Where's Weezy's house?
Shouts to Weezy, by the way.
Weezy just bought a new house.
Oh, congrats to you, Weezy.
Is it in L.A.?
Yeah.
Zit code?
Address.
No, no, you don't have to get the area.
I just didn't know what the city it was in.
I didn't know.
Wow.
Good for her.
Yeah.
Have you gone over there?
No, yet.
She hasn't invited you over?
No.
Is there trouble in the gay podcasting that way?
What happened?
They're going to do demolition, all that type of stuff.
Oh, she's going to do complete renovation.
Inside.
Wow.
Yeah, that's money.
When you buy a house and you're like, this house ain't nice enough, that shit is money.
Let me tear down the house to build another house to where I bought the house.
Yeah.
That shit is money.
She's doing it.
Good. God bless, dude. I love that. She's doing it. Also, counterpoint to your San Diego thing. Salt Lake City.
Oh, you were there this weekend. I love it, dude. Yeah, tell me what... I can't say it's the best city ever...
Let's leave New York to go to a place colder than New York. But you can use the cold. You can't say Sol Lake is the best city because it is...
This is actually a good point. It is racist to say it's the best city.
Why? Because it's only Samoans? A lot of... Yeah. It just is very, very white. So if you're like, if you're like, dude, it's the greatest city ever.
it's like, well, why is it the best?
And you're like, well, it's quiet or whatever.
Like, you've got to kind of like kind of back out of it.
But it is one of the best.
I love Salt Lake City with all my heart.
Truly the best.
You just love the Mormons.
I love it.
We call them LDS, technically.
But I do love them.
It is the widest city I perform in.
And I love Wise Guys Comedy Club are the best.
The fans show up, but it's, I'm always like,
I can count the minorities on one hand, which for my show is very,
I mean, for any of our shows rare, but for me in particular.
There's like two Indians that didn't know what they were getting into.
Amazing, right?
Yeah.
It's just perfect because you get to utilize the whole thing the whole time.
You're liking it a little bit too much, bro.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying. That's why you've got to be like, it's good.
It's good.
But it's cold, but you get to use the cold.
And it's hot, but you get to use the hot.
You know what I mean?
Like, you get to go ski and you get to snowboard and snowmobile and put your kid on a sled and
send them on a tube.
New York is cold for no reason.
And hot for no reason.
Like, New York, well, what I would say about New York is it works without the temperature.
Like, the temperature doesn't matter.
Like, you're doing whatever you do.
you can go do it.
Like, you're going to Massa Square Garden.
You're going to summer.
You're going to fall.
It doesn't matter.
But Salt Lake is all about the weather.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Entirely.
Yeah.
And, like, the culture that, like, the LDS kind of built, like, there's, like, alcohol.
But are there things to do outside of nature?
My only argument would be what you're going to go to Swig and drink, like, Coca-Cola with sugar in it.
Dude, do these more...
Have you guys watched the real lives of Mormon lives?
Oh, yeah, dude.
It's all time.
Great show.
That's the ones they're all fucking each other, right?
Yeah, that was part of it.
Let me tell you something.
It is, thank God they don't drink alcohol.
What they're willing to share on caffeine is unprecedented.
Yo, these girls, this girl's talking about cutting off her beef curtains.
She's like, yeah, my pussy just started getting hangy.
She takes a slurp of a 44 ounce of Coca-Cola with some like red sugar dye in it.
She's like, yeah, so I had to chop them off.
She shows all the girls, her new vagina, shows the cameraman, everything.
They have to blur it out because she's showing it.
And what's really interesting about them is...
Show sounds amazing.
No, no.
It's a much watch TV.
But what's incredible about it is that, like,
they're so open with their sexual shit,
but they're married.
And they don't shame sex within the marriage.
It's really interesting.
Like, they would shame sexual behavior outside of it.
Like, if you're just like a whore in the community,
that would be bad.
But once you with your husband,
he was clapping my cheek, and you can just say it.
And they don't care.
They'd share the stories with each other.
Also worth noting they're attractive.
At least the one in the front seems hot.
Everyone in Salt Lake is attractive.
It's like our Scandinavia.
Yeah.
It's like our Norway, our Sweden is Salt Lake.
For a few reasons, I will say.
Tell me, please.
No alcohol.
Yep.
Like that helps.
No drugs.
No drugs.
Being outdoors a lot.
Yeah.
And then on top of that, because...
They don't go like the processed food, right?
Don't they like try to eat food?
They're healthy and like crunchy.
But like on top of that, you also, because of the LDS mission,
Mormon's going around like converting people.
Yeah.
It is actually pretty diverse.
And you get like weird mix.
would it be like a Filipino
Pakistani LDS, Mormon.
You know what I mean?
And then it's earlier you had like
half Japanese white.
Samoan like Guatemalan.
How did the Samoans end up embracing?
I like that he's a little reason why they're attractive
because they mix with other stuff that's non-white.
No, the whites are fucking good looking out there.
Everyone's just good looking.
But then you get mixing, you get nice little mix.
No, no, that's valid though,
because it's not just hot white girls,
which you would think.
It's mixed hot girls.
You just said it's all white people.
I'll be honest with you.
I haven't seen a,
I've seen non-white men.
I don't think they,
I don't,
I think they kick out to non-white women or something.
I haven't seen a non-white woman.
I see a lot of like male Samoans.
You see male other things you mentioned.
But it's females.
It's just white women.
And like skinny,
in shape,
blonde hair,
blue eyes.
That's a stereotype.
Yeah.
Stereotype.
I mean,
yes.
I mean,
there's a few brunettes.
But it's like, there's one mixed girl on the show.
And she happened to have, like, a kid out of wetline.
It's kind of fucked up.
So she had a kid from the previous marriage or something.
It happens.
I think you're not allowed to get divorced.
I don't know.
I mean, they like shun the ones.
They do.
They do.
They, like, kick you out the community.
Maybe.
I don't know.
I mean, they're getting a little loosey-goosey now.
Money, good.
Money.
That's what happens.
They like change the dress code.
They like changed the dress code.
I don't think they were on caffeine before.
I think that's new.
Yeah, well, apparently caffeine thing was never doctrinal.
was always like interpersonal.
Whereas like, I don't think...
Brigham Young was never like, oh, you can't drink caffeine.
It was like...
A coffee they don't drink.
But now, they do a little.
Ketamine?
They love ketamine.
Yeah.
But they're like on the show.
Oh, shit, really?
Doctrine all the easier.
Exactly, because they didn't know about the pharmaceuticals back in the day.
But it's prescribed.
Yeah.
And then they do like ketamine treatments.
No, that sounds awesome, to be honest.
That, you're really making a good case here.
Oh, it's awesome.
And then in the summertime, you go mountain biking.
On ketamine.
On ketamine.
On the weather's beautiful.
I love all of it.
Sure.
Yeah.
You get a little K-hold and salt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shout out.
Shout out, it's just the best.
Speaking of television, I'm on a flight to Arizona, five-hour flight.
Guy next to me locked into his laptop, ignoring the TV on the screen, all the movies that are there.
I'm like, what the fuck is this guy watching?
He's so locked in.
And then I see this really hot girl, and I'm like, what show is this?
And then I see Allie Larder and I, or whatever the name is, and I put together, oh, this is Landman.
And my man was locked in.
How old is it?
17 really.
Yo.
How old is that?
How old?
I glanced.
I was like, who are the fucking?
She's 28. She's 28 in real life.
Yeah.
The character is 17.
She's 28 in real life.
Gross.
I continue, please.
I think the real years matter.
And I think I might owe you an apology.
Yo, man, I accept it.
I accept it.
Never needed one, but I accepted.
Yo, because I was shitting on him for liking land man.
Then when I saw the girl, I was like, maybe I need to share earbuds with them.
That's what every girl in Salt Lake looks like.
She's like the quintessential Salt Lake Mormon girl.
That you can't.
keep a society that is this like kind of like removed from normalcy together without beautiful
women. If they if the girls were dogs, people would convert to like regular Christianity,
but the girls are so hot. They're like, yeah, the tablets were buried in upstate New York and
the fucking Jews made it to the shore.
The Native Americans were really out there. Like all that makes sense when every girl's a dime.
And that's the reason in Islam they got to cover the girls up, man. It was growing too fast. The religion
She was growing too fast from all the beautiful women,
and they were like, we need to slow this thing down.
We got to slow it down.
They covered them up.
They consolidated it.
They had it in one region.
And then that was it.
But Alan, I could still tell.
We cracked the code and we were there.
But can you?
Yeah, dude.
I'm telling you.
When you're there long enough,
you know how when you're in college
and you start thinking like sixes or tens?
We saw through this.
So, hold on, that was a bad example.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, give one.
I know what I said.
I know what I said.
I know what I said.
And I'm still standing up.
How do you feel about it?
How do you feel about it?
How do you feel?
I'm standing on it.
You know how when you're in a new country, they're speaking a foreign language,
over time, you still start to understand without realizing it.
Yeah, exactly.
That's what happened in Saudi.
We can still understand what's underneath the Naguad.
Yes.
Without reality.
Yeah, exactly that.
That ain't hit me like that.
When I was out there, I didn't hit me like that.
Maybe I'm just more faithful with you guys.
No, I think it's more than me.
I'm just not looking for pussy on the road.
It's jarring when you land at the airport because you're not used to it yet.
You just see, whoa, what's going on?
It was jarring.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ninja's everywhere.
Fucking jarred me up, man.
I got so jarred up, man.
Yeah, hijabi women are pretty
because they just focus on this.
It's face.
The job women are beautiful.
They limit the amount.
Oh, hijab is different than Nekab.
Yeah.
The jab is...
Well, we were starting to get able to tell just from that.
Yeah, I brought word.
See, where I would give pushback
is remember during COVID
when everybody wore the mask
and everybody was good-looking?
Yeah, yeah.
Remember how much better-looking people were on the streets
when the mask was on?
Do you remember that a little bit?
Yeah.
I think that's what,
happens out there as well. And what I would say is you treat good-looking people better.
So maybe we are nicer to women in that part of the world when we can't see what their full heads are.
Do you think that's possible? And we shouldn't be. We should be nice to everybody.
No matter what. No matter what they look like. Exactly. But I'm going to start watching Landman and it's for only one reason. So that's where we are.
In the show. Alex, she's 17 in the show.
No, I don't make it
better.
You can't even
He started playing with his pants
instantly.
He looks crazy.
Why does that shit
bunched up so much?
You know who's with her?
Huh?
I think it's the top gun guy
who's also
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no,
handsome son of a bitch.
What's his name? Glenn Powell.
Is it Glenn Powell this with her?
Is that the girl that Miles went on a date with?
No.
Oh, no.
Why don't you say it like that?
Glenn Powell.
Miles being putting it in work.
No, I know he puts in work.
That's just not.
But that's not, you know, that's not it.
That's not it.
I mean, maybe it is it, Miles.
Michelle Randolph is, uh...
Yeah, Miles's not really filling it today, right?
He was a little salty or something.
What happened?
You have money on the game?
No, no, no.
Everything's good.
But apparently, Michelle Randolph is dating Glenn Powell.
So you are correct.
Yeah, I know I'm correct.
Who was the girl you went on a baby?
What's up with him today?
Why is Miles said?
He gave him some sashes.
Yeah, he did.
He just talked.
right through me.
Yo,
tell me what's up with you, man.
I got nothing wrong.
No, something happened.
It does seem like something's bothering.
This, nothing is bothering me.
And if you say nothing's bothering you, then it's more bothering me.
You can just share with it.
It's just the guys.
Yeah, just tell us, what's going on?
No one else is listening.
I have nothing bothered me.
I think there might be something bothering you.
And if there is something bothering you,
I think that this is a safe place to share it.
Yesterday was Blue Monday.
I would like to say that sort of, I think,
affected me.
Hold on.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Perfect.
It's just the way he steps into it is so magical.
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
Yesterday was also Martin Luther King Jr.
But to him, he's like, it's Blumel, it's the saddest day of year.
It says, no way makes me sad.
I would like to bring up the fact that I had to work on Martin Luther King Day.
We could get rid of this fucking holiday.
I would like to say I worked on Martin Luther King Day and I didn't want to because it felt racist.
Damn.
You couldn't even honestly.
the holiday. I couldn't. No, I had to fucking fix all the lights on here.
You were working? You were saying white spirituals?
No.
What is it a white spiritual? Where are you?
Miles, what's up? I feel like you're just a little sad today or something.
Just be vulnerable and share with us.
I'm so good. Can you be vulnerable?
How much you weighing in? How much am I weighing?
Yeah. Oh, I weighed myself today and it was bad.
Okay, that's probably it. It was a bad number.
Marks that I weighed $290 recently also.
I think to bring that up.
No, you said that, motherfucker.
I just repeated what you said right now.
You said it at dinner.
You guessed all of our weights and mine was it.
You guessed $290?
Mark said that.
I don't think you're even at two.
I think you're 187.
You're so kind.
201 this morning, everybody.
201.
Nice.
Oh, that's, yeah, that's a rough day.
No.
Yeah.
That's a rough day.
You don't feel good about it.
No, no, no.
That's a rough day.
Hold on.
That's going to affect your mood a little.
Oh, no.
I get what he means.
That psychological barrier, 200.
It's like if it came in at 199, you're like, I can fix this.
201 is like, yeah.
Fuck.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you feel?
All right, can I ask you this as an honest question?
At 201, when you feel hungry, is there part of you telling your body like there's no way?
No.
I'm full of food.
I'm full of it.
Like, there's reserves here somewhere.
I have no calorie restrictions in my life.
I have no fear of calories.
it's such a funny problem.
Chip, you don't laugh.
Shiff, are you okay over there, Shiff?
We're just trying to get to the bottom of miles of stress eating.
What could possibly be stressing you out recently
that's making you eat like this month?
Nothing.
Okay.
Okay.
But yeah, 201 this morning, sort of a rough number.
You're on a bulk.
That's what I tell myself.
Yeah, that's fine.
You bulk, you get to like 205, 290, and you come down.
You're shredded.
I tried telling myself that for a few years, but no muscle came in,
so it just has to be in fatter.
It is under.
It's under.
It's underneath, dude.
Yes, dude.
I just can't believe that Mark dipped his lips in pop rocks before the podcast.
Give me the chat.
I just can't believe it.
You said you would reward me, bro.
I just can't believe it.
We talked for a living.
I need this.
Bro, I'm telling you, it's dry up there in that soul way.
No, I believe you.
It's so dry.
I think you're also so white hitting him cross my mind to buy it.
Yeah.
Dude, this is a great little Vaseline.
This is, oh.
What?
What's wrong?
So, yeah, where do you guys stand?
You guys share in this shit.
Where do you guys stand with sharing the lipstick?
If it's finger, I don't care.
I don't do it.
You want this one?
So you won't do it?
No, this is bird.
This is a nice little vast.
I like this the same shape.
So you won't share a chapstick that's a lipstick?
I don't like to.
With whom?
With whom?
With whom?
Would you share with me?
Never.
Fuck out of you.
No.
All right.
All right.
Hold on.
You're the last person in the office I was sharing.
Okay.
Wait, why is that?
You'll be immediate knee-jerk reaction from all of the
you. I don't know where you're going to put it.
You're like, dude, my ass is chapped.
No, wait, why me? Why not me?
Come on. What are, what is dirty about my lips?
You're just generally one of the dirtier human beings.
Yeah. I am. Like, you'll take a shit, not wash your hands, and then dapp us up immediately.
You guys notice that?
You can tell when I don't wipe my hands or wash my hands after shit.
It's completely dry. So, yeah, yeah. And your finger pierced through the paper somehow.
Yeah. Dude, don't you guys hate when that happens every single time?
It doesn't happen anyone else.
Doesn't it happen to you guys every single time when you go single-plied by accident on purpose?
Like, aren't you like, oh, I forgot to fold it?
Oh, no.
How am I going to get this thing out of there?
The only way is through.
Yeah, that only happens to you.
Do you guys find it satisfying to scratch, like, a little deep in the hole?
When you're getting a good scratch?
No, I love when someone else does it.
Bro, just get a bidet, dude.
I saved it for the bidet.
I was digging in my ass today while on the deadlift bar.
I was with my trainer, shout on Mike, and I was doing, I stopped the lift and I dug in my ass, right?
And I looked at him and he's just looking at me like, he has no clue what he's like, he's giving me the look like, I'm just going to pretend I didn't see him do that in front of everybody at the gym.
And I was like, yeah, man, sorry, I just had to dig in my ass.
And he goes, he goes, yeah, I get it.
All right, give me 10.
Oh my God
Yeah, why was it so issue, I don't know
Is it white? I don't know
Yeah, we're gonna get your bidet
Don't worry
We're gonna get you lined up a deck

We already know Blue Chew
delivering the best dick
You've ever
Really bestowed on anyone
In your entire life
if we're going to be factual about it.
We already know that that is happening.
Why they decide to up the ante?
I don't know.
I don't know.
They didn't need to, but they decided to.
Blue, chew gold, okay?

The other one?
Maybe we're looking at 30 minutes.
Now you're up in 15 minutes.
Okay.
Yes, it's got the other stuff for the arousal.
You're up in 15 minutes.
15 minutes.
That's the only amount that you need to stall is 15 minutes.
Okay?
You are ready to go.
She's like, oh, I'm ready to go.

Now, let's be honest, okay?
We drink, we travel.
We eat like trash sometimes.
We're stressed.
And then we act surprised when we wake up feeling foggy run down or just off.
Well, here's what's actually happening.
All that stuff builds up.
Your body doesn't magically reset overnight.
It relies on glutathione, the body's master antioxidant, which is basically your liver's cleanup crew,
to grab all these toxins and metabolic junk and get it out of your self.
The problem, modern life drains your glutathione fast, and most glutathione supplements don't do
anything because they don't absorb.
Rho's liposomal gutation actually works, okay?
It uses liposomal delivery system, clinically proven to increase absorption, and you feel the
difference.
This isn't some wellness influence or nonsense.
It's damage control.
It's helping your body do what it's supposed to do instead of falling behind.
So go to roanutrition.com.
Use the go flagrant and get 20% off.

20% off your liver. Well, thank you. Now, let's get back to the show.
Oh, yo, Shelty watched his first college football game yesterday.
Yeah, my, it's almost my first. No, I did watch the, I did watch the championship game.
You watched the national championship game. I mean, it was, I had to miss the very end, which sucked,
but it was a fucking amazing game, and by then it was pretty much wrapped up. It was just like...
But no, it was close up to the end. Yeah, they had one final drive.
Yeah, and Indiana is, it's the, maybe the greatest story I've ever seen in sports.
Yeah, can you break, you were breaking this down yesterday? Can you explain why Indiana just became a
college football powerhouse. So yeah, I'm not a massive college football fan. I'm a casual.
I'll watch on Sports Center and then toward the end of the year I get interested.
Indiana has never been good in my 41 years on earth. They are actually the literal losingest
team in Division I football history. Wow. Oh, wow. More losses than anyone in Division 1A or whatever
it is. And then all of a sudden, last year they were good. They hired this new coach.
And we all kind of thought it was fluky. They lost in the playoff. And then this year they go
undefeated. And they're one of the greatest teams of all time. And it is based on this
coach, this one guy, Chuck Signetti is his name. He came from a school at James Madison University.
He went, one there kind of out of nowhere, and then he brought a lot of those players over.
And his method is really interesting because college football, my entire life, has been run by
these like Blue Blood programs, the SEC schools like Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State,
TUTE, LSU, whatever. And they have all the big boosters and all the big money and all the fertile
grounds of football players are in Texas and Florida and California or whatever. So I just throw money
around and nobody can compete. And it's been the same good teams my entire life. What this guy does is he's like,
okay, I can't get some 18-year-old five-star recruit high schooler who's one of the best high school kids in the
nation. So I will exploit what's called the transfer portal. So these are older kids who might not be
able to play at some of these other schools who are less highly recruited out of high school,
but they're grown men. They're 22, 23, 24 years old. He brings them all. He brings them
over. And a lot of people are saying that's unfair, but somebody brought up a good counterpoint,
which was if all that matters is age, BYU, to bring up the Mormons again, why wouldn't they be
the best school every single year? Because they go away before they go to school for a couple
years. They go do mission trips for two, three years. That's like a thing you do as a Mormon. So it's not
just the age. He also, like, has a very interesting practice philosophy. They don't do grueling
practices that last hours and hours. We're going to practice. We're going to practice correctly.
And then we're going to get the fuck out. Everything is done very efficiently.
He's also a hard ass in that he won't ever really show emotion or happiness.
Like, they had a buy week.
All the four best teams in college had a week off.
And then they got to advance straight to the second college football playoff game.
Three teams lost.
One team won.
And it was Indiana.
And he was like, I told my team on no uncertain terms that we were not going to have a letdown.
He basically just fucking reamed him and was like, we're not doing that.
They decimate Alabama, who's one of the greatest college football program.
ever. Then the next round they play Oregon, beat the shit out of them. Their quarterback,
sweetest kid on earth, Latino kid, two Latino parents, mom has MS. This guy literally is the perfect
human being. He is, in the first two playoff games, had more touchdowns than incompletions.
Wow. Whoa. He had like eight touchdowns total and like five incompletions. That's great.
Un-fucking believable. That's the kid Mendoza. And Miles said this. I don't even know.
whenever they show the parents are always sitting down and celebrating,
the dad doesn't stand up because his wife has MS and she can't stand up,
so he only celebrates with her sitting down.
It's like this sweetest fucking story.
This kid won the Heisman.
He's going to be the number one pick.
Catholic.
Catholic.
Who did?
It's an interesting point, just to add.
I just can't believe you don't call ice on them.
Like, if it's a championship game, if everything is on the line.
That's true.
And we're just arresting American citizens anyway.
That's true.
Why aren't you going after the quarterback from the opposing team?
Yeah, yeah.
That is good strategy for the other coach.
I mean, if you're a Miami fan, you probably can't call ice.
That's a good point.
You probably compromised.
You was about to be part of America.
Don't worry.
Okay, fair enough.
They're coming home.
But dude, the last touchdown he scored was like, I think they were up.
This is also fire.
They were up 17 to 14, Indiana was.
And they had the ball at like the 10-yard line.
It's fourth and five.
They could kick a field, golden goal, and go up 20 to 14.
but if Miami scores a touchdown, now they're losing.
So the head coach says, fuck it, let's go for it.
This guy who's the Heisman trophy winner, who's going to be the number one pick in his last game,
just throws his body over the goal line to score a touchdown, gets fucking hit from in front and behind,
and he just goes, my teammate, yeah, fast forward.
Watch this.
Also, he's already got the first down, but look at this.
Oh, he can run too.
Oh, damn.
He's not even a good runner, but he just won the game and he goes, look at this.
He's fucking celebrating.
Oh, I thought she was dying.
Son.
She can't stand, dude.
He has MS.
You're not fully wrong, dude.
I know, but when they cut to it, she was...
My bad.
That's really my bad.
You know, there's a moment during the game
where they cut to Abela Danger in the stands.
She's a porn star.
You know who she is?
You know, Abella Danger?
No.
You don't got a lot.
You probably recognize the face.
You don't got a lie.
How do you guys...
How do you guys want to know the name?
You guys want to know the names of these...
The only...
The only...
Who can't...
She's a big University of Miami fan.
I think she's, you know, furthering her education.
Okay.
Okay, that's one way of describing it, but she's very concerned.
The team is losing.
We don't know what she does for a living.
She might have retired.
She might have retired, Al.
Oh, if she retired, you know...
Prior to...
Yeah, can we see more pictures?
Yeah.
It's kind of cute.
Anyway, the point is, they...
cut to her and like
you could tell someone in the booth
like some young kid was like
tapping the director because they cut away
very fast like usually they'll milk
a beautiful girl in the crowd for a little bit
that cutaway was instantaneous
there was an old director who
wasn't up to date with the young porn stars
locked in and he was like oh we got a beauty
that's going through it right now she's a Miami fan
and there was somebody tapping his
knee like
you're going to hear about this one
you're going to hear there she is
I mean.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen no work.
Yeah.
I don't even know how that's like physically possible, the position she's in right there.
Yeah, I mean.
I mean, but with all due respect to like,
can you go back to that one?
Because that would be, with all due respect, as you say,
that would be the position to eat it, right?
This is very comfortable.
Yeah, yeah.
Would that be?
It'd be comfortable, yeah.
You don't have to like.
That would be needed.
Yeah, no hesitation.
I'm hungry.
I'm getting away for a reason.
Yeah.
I'm a hungry boy.
You could have a walking desk and make that work.
That's far.
But I think like...
What?
You never got one of those?
Like the treadmill?
That's far.
It's fully standing.
But if you're going to be putting women on from Miami,
there's a decent chance of one of them has a...
What are you trying to say?
A link tree.
There's a lot of link trees in Miami.
We're trying to say.
A link tree is so funny.
I've been to Miami and there's a lot of link trees in Miami.
Listen, there is a guy who's running for governor, I think.
He's got John F's.
fishback, I think that's his name? And he's proposing a syntax. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 50% for only
fans models. Yeah, which is hilarious. In Florida? Yeah. Yeah. That if you are, uh, if you're, if you're, if you got a
link tree in Florida, you got to pay 50%. Dude, I had a, I had a guy, I know, okay, I didn't even know
Cuba was on the table. So, I think, I think, I think, I think Trump got, like, a boner after the,
like, I think the Venezuela thing went too well. You know what I mean? Like, I actually think it, like,
if it didn't go so well, it might
have been better for the state of the
world. Yeah. Because I think it went
so well that Trump's like, oh, I could just
kidnap people now, like wherever I want.
And like, in me, yeah, I
really think, like, I don't even think
in his head he knew these things could happen.
Yeah, now is he check.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. He gets one from long
race. He's on fire!
See what else I got. Because he
sends him shit like, you know, Cuba, figure it out.
And then a guy told me
today, he's like,
I wouldn't go long on Miami real estate right now.
I go, why?
What do you talk?
I'm like, I'm not buying anything fucking Miami.
Like, what do you mean?
He goes, if Cuba comes on board, they're all going to go back home.
And he didn't say it sarcastically.
He was like, I was speaking to some guys and they think that like, you know, Cuba will be part of the United States of America in some way, shape, or form.
Wow.
I mean, I mean, this is the tricky part with modern imperialism is on the one hand.
You're like, no, every nation is sovereign.
you should respect their rights and their leaders.
Yes.
You're in the imperial.
Havana sounds awesome.
You know, they got those old cars.
Don't we want some old cars?
It was supposed to be like a resort thing.
It was.
That was the vaguest of the East Coast.
Yeah, the mafia had it all locked up.
What did you say?
I love me in Aruba.
Yeah, so it's a...
But I don't want to do that.
I mean, I don't know.
All this shit is just ugly.
Like, it's just a shit.
You should be able to do this shit
diplomatically.
You know what I mean?
Like even the Greenland shit, I cannot fathom that we cannot do whatever we want with Greenland.
I find it hard to believe that we can't just call up Denmark and make, yo, can we put a base over here?
You know, can we refine some minerals over here?
I can't believe that Denmark is going, no, you can't.
And we're not going to allow that.
Like, don't we already have a base there?
Don't we already have a presence in Greenland?
We do.
But, like, China was already, like, buying up mines and shit like that.
So that's why.
So then you make a phone call and be like, you know, don't sell in the mines.
We'll buy it the mines.
Like, I feel like you can.
We did that already.
This was like back in 2020.
to, I believe. So now he's like, if it's
just ours, now we can just,
we don't have to buy shit.
Can I? Can I? Can you?
So this is the crazy thing. It's like, they do what you want.
And then he goes, well, might as well just take it if it's ours.
Oh, I thought they said no. And that's why he's like,
maybe we just take it. They said yes to selling it to the U.S.?
No, no. No. They said no to sell into the U.S.
But I'm talking about the minds, like letting other countries come in and
collect some of their resources.
Yeah. Now Trump is just like, oh, if we own this shit, nobody could come in.
Walk me through the hole in there.
that logic.
You just walk me through it.
I'm not saying it doesn't exist.
I'm just saying, you know.
This is the funny shit.
Which imperialism we want.
So, Martin I was talking about this last night, but this is the funny shit about it.
Is it like, it's made people defend European colonialism, right?
Because Trump's like, we're going to take Greenland.
And it's forced people to go, you can't take Greenland.
White people in Europe already own them.
Like, nobody's making the argument.
that ethnic group that has existed there for thousands of years
should have their own autonomy.
Nobody's made that argument.
Now one person said free Greenland.
They go, no, other white people bought them.
They bought them and owned them in perpetuity.
Yes, we have to protect their flow into interest.
This is an important question.
The people of Greenland, sorry.
Are they not white?
No, no.
The people of Greenland are, they eat narwhal.
Pull up a pit.
Full of a pig.
I need to see what they optically look like before I decide how I feel about this.
More, I would say,
like Cambodian. Oh, we can't do that.
They're Inuit vibes.
I think they're like, they're inua vibes.
I think I'm not on. I thought they were, you know, very white.
I think people assumed that they're like Vikings.
Yeah, that's what I assume. Yeah, I thought it was just
Denmark getting rid of their shit people.
How?
Denmark's Australia.
Yeah.
Exactly. No, I think they're more
than the criminals are adorable. You can't do that to them.
But isn't it funny that nobody is going, should
Should Greenland be able to just be their own country?
Like that's not even on the table.
That discussion is not allowed.
Oh, hey, hey.
This Miss Greenland 2024.
Let's go.
I love that.
I mean...
We might need to take it.
Hey, hey, hey, run that, Narwhal.
Narwhal!
Nah.
Jesus.
I know.
Oh, man.
Yeah, she's beautiful.
With all due respect.
I...
You didn't say anything wrong.
No, but I was thinking it.
I did
Gabe with all due respect for the intrusive thoughts
Yeah, exactly, dude
I just saw myself ice-fishing, dude.
I wanted to find a hole, drop the rod in.
With all due respect, I don't know why I thought that.
I shouldn't have thought that.
Come on.
Wow.
But that is kind of funny, right?
Oh, yeah, these are the videos that we watch right here.
Those are we?
Dude, I send these videos.
Mark. It's so funny.
Can I say what you said when I said?
So this is narwhal. This is like a, I guess now it's a very, well, it's always been a popular
dish, not that thing that they're eating the first thing that they're eating.
And they cut it up with this like curvy knife. I don't know the name of it.
And this guy was doing this muck bang with the narwhal. You see how they cut it right there
and then they dip it in this like whole soy sauce thing. And this guy was doing this video and
he was like, you know, this is a delicacy for us. And it's how we honor our ancestors.
and I sent the video to Mark and I was like,
look, this is how they honor their ancestors.
And he goes, you want to honor your ancestors?
Eat a fucking burger.
They didn't want to eat narwhal?
You know, out of your mind?
Oh, this is the guy.
This is the guy I watch his videos all the time.
His name is Brandon, what is it?
Good thing.
Brandon Cadlon.
Yeah.
And he's Greenlandish?
No, I think he's from...
I want to understand the people.
What's all the face tattoos and all that shit?
I think it's cultural.
Yeah, it's like indigenous.
Like the most.
The Māori people
Anyway, got to try it
A bunch of drill rap is over there
But yeah, I bet like, I don't know
I recognize on the one hand
People's relationship with their ancestors
Probably ten you specifically in colonial states
And it's probably hard, right?
You try to reconnect with something that was taken from you
With that said
Talk that shit.
With that said
That was some chat cheap
That was just fucking rifled out
How can I defend this offensive thing
That I'm about to say?
With that said, if you went to your ancestors
You're like, yo, I got some narwhal for you
They'd be like, no, we don't want this
We got AC.
We want to eat chilies.
We want to be in America.
Like, let's roll.
But what if it tastes good?
It probably tastes good, but nothing tastes better than a fucking Big Mac at 2 a.m.
You convince yourself to buy overpriced sushi.
Yes.
All the time.
Ain't that just the same shit?
Well, if it was good, wouldn't it be available everywhere else?
That's the thing.
Like, good food gets to the rest of the world.
I don't think there's one dish that's not delicious that isn't in every major city on the planet.
Because if it's really that good, we're going to go fish your seas so you don't have it anymore.
Right?
Like, isn't that kind of how we...
Every now and get some new shit drops.
So we're like, wait, this was here the whole time?
Break it down.
We didn't even know what Greenland people look like until right now.
I know.
Probably because they didn't have any food worth eating.
That's true.
We got to try this shit.
We didn't know about...
I don't think he's from Greenland.
We should check that out, though.
I thought he was...
I thought he was Alaska.
Yeah, we have to be accurate, you know, on our...
We got...
Listen.
This is.
We're changing culture.
Yeah.
The podcast will literally change culture, and we got to make sure...
More specifically, we aren't helps with stereotypes.
You know what I mean?
If you're too broad, then it's like, oh, what are we even talking about?
If you get real nuanced, oh, that's a speech spot.
Canadian Inuit.
Oh, hell.
Canadian Inuit.
Nice.
There you go.
But yeah, I'm like, I don't know, there's some shit we just found out.
People weren't eating, like, salmon sushi until, like, 30 years ago.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, because salmon isn't indigenous to Japan.
Right.
I read this that, like, Norway had this excess...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They had this, like, hundreds of pounds of salmon.
They just had to get rid of it.
So I guess they sold it to Japan.
And they kind of branded it as, like, new sushi.
Yeah.
But we just found out about that.
Yeah.
Remember chia?
Where was chia this whole time?
Pets?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
No one ever heard of chia that was in every pudding for like five years.
Yeah, but I feel like we could live without that.
Like, that's going to work its course.
But there's so many things like that.
Asaie.
What even, you know what I mean?
Asaie bangs.
Asaie bangs.
Yeah, there's probably some little sneaky Indian dish that no one even knows about that's like,
this is fire.
Great time for a joke.
Who wants to throw it up?
This is a perfect time.
I thought it would happen.
I prepared myself mentally.
Angel hair pasta?
Maybe?
I'm like, I don't know.
I'm trying to think.
We got to try.
We got to give it a try.
It might be delicious.
It probably is, though, right?
And you could open your first,
whatever that food is called spot here in New York.
Be the first.
I can remember it.
Norval.
Norval.
Norval.
Norwal are those little, like,
It looks like a seal with a huge horn.
Like a unicorn.

Did we figure out the daycare situation yet?
No, truth is unknowable.
We're beyond truth.
We are beyond truth.
Some of them got to be legit.
You can't know anything.
Some of them are legit.
Can we talk about how frustrating that must be?
If you had a legit Somali daycare
in the city where they're illegit,
illegitimate ones and what they're going through.
And then you got a bunch of white people knocking
on your doors with cameras.
Where the kid?
That's scary shit.
Isn't that fucking crazy?
There's probably some concerned parents watching the video
being like, that's the daycare my kid goes.
Where is the kid?
Wait a second.
So does anybody, did anybody get to the bottom of this story?
Or no?
No, I don't think it's been.
No.
But probably the truth is somewhere in the middle where like there's some fraud
and there's some legit and the reality
will probably never make the lie to do.
I shot a lady in the face four three times, so kind of to rail the story.
You kill a story with a story.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nice job, ice.
Yeah, we started talking about that and we stopped talking about the smaller daycares.
Exactly.
Yeah.
The most important thing when reading the news is that whatever you believe is what you're
reading.
And as long as it reinforces that, that's how I live.
I just, I believe something.
And then if I read news that goes against that, I say it's not real.
And if it does support, then I just would say that's actually the truth.
That is the internet, right?
Like, I will scroll on TikTok when the news story comes out and there is a guy going,
debunking the whole Somali front and then there's another guy going exposing the whole
Somali front it's the exact same information just pick your favorite one just pick that's the problem
that's the beauty just pick and and you don't have to think critically you just go nice I was right the
whole time what are the odds I've been right 20 times out of 20 times out of 20 isn't it so much it
it is so much easier to just pick aside and like ride for that like I get when I see people do that on
the internet like I get why like we're talking about like the binary it's either the internet right
it's either America first or America last.
And that's it.
America lasts.
Meaning like everything America does is bad.
Oh, yeah.
Like that's...
Or everything America does is perfect and done for a reason.
Right. Like everything America does or everything Trump is doing is 100% legitimate and we need
to do it for whatever bullshit reason. They'll find some fucking bullshit excuse to justify
it. Or every single thing that's happening in America is bad and this is why it's bad.
And like, if you view it through that lens, there is a massive audience of people.
that will consume your content on a regular basis
because they're like, I already feel this thing
and I need somebody to justify it.
And that is the internet.
And this massive space in the middle,
which we assume most people feel, right?
Like, we assume there's a lot of like normal,
regular folks out there that are looking at the Somali daycare thing.
Okay, there's definitely fraud,
but like there's no way every single one of them are fraudulent.
Like, they're children there.
Yeah.
They need to go to a fucking daycare.
Right?
It's not like there are no kids in these places.
Like, they're stuffing them somewhere.
Yeah.
So, but there's no.
creator that's going, well, here's the boring gray middle ground of what's happening.
There's no clicks in it. There's no clicks. There's no views in it. And if there's no clicks and
there's no views in it, people... And then they're not talking about it. Yeah. So it's like,
it's almost like if you remove the financial reward of the internet. Yeah. If you completely
remove monetization, I wonder if it softened it. Which is funny because that's what we used to say
about the news. They're all just paying bills. Right. Like that adds to sell.
Because didn't that, didn't that happen? Like, that's a perfect example with the news. You go
Fox News or CNN or whatever the hell it is.
It's like, okay, you're just going to feed that narrative,
whatever the fuck it is,
and that there's a lot of money to make in that narrative
because these people already feel that way, like you were saying.
And, you know, same thing goes to the left and the right.
The Internet has done that, and now it's not only five news programs.
Yeah.
Now it's everybody with a phone that wants to talk about something.
And those audiences exist, and they're super radicalized.
And I'd like to assume that the majority of people are here.
But now, I don't know.
Like, if you go on the Internet, you're like,
I don't think there's anybody in the middle.
I don't think there's anybody who wants to.
And now that you're competing with a billion other creators
as opposed to eight different news networks,
now you've got to up the morphine
on what your truth is or what you present
that gets clicks and views.
So it's getting crazier than any of the stuff
that we said was fake news.
Yeah.
I remember when Trump appointed RFK
and they were making all these promises
about getting real sugar out of soda
and whatever, making food more natural.
Some liberal guy on Twitter was like,
this isn't actually a fix for anything.
The only thing that matters is calories in,
calories out.
This is a, and it's like, yeah, but also, isn't it good to get chemicals out of food?
Wouldn't we all disagree baseline on that?
And he was like, this does nothing.
And then it had so many retweets.
And I checked the comments just to see.
And everybody's like, I know it's a false, whatever.
It's another lie that they're feeding us.
And it's like, oh, okay, you guys want to believe that.
Can't find a middle ground.
And that's just what it is.
Yes.
That's so much easier, dude.
Yeah.
But realistically, most of the people that you talk to in your day-to-day life,
do you find that they're pretty normal?
the most normal.
Like, that's how I feel.
I'm like, I just choose not to believe the, like, radical binary.
Because it's like, the real people I'm talking to are like, kind and they have different
opinions, but like, you know, they're nuanced.
And if they don't know, they go, oh, yeah, I don't know.
I'm not a, you know.
Everybody except the Flavent Group chat.
Yeah, the Flavent Group chat is a perfect example of the internet.
Yeah.
But yeah, that is how I feel when I talk to regular people.
And it's a shame.
Yeah, it's a shame that there's not more of a space for that, right?
Like, I almost feel like, you think the.
the the pendulum would swing away from the extremes,
but I think the pendulum has swung towards apathy or distraction.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So instead of going, I don't want the extremes, I want a nuanced take,
I think it's, I'm going to watch Landman.
Yeah.
Right?
It's just like, I'm going to watch TV.
I just want to escape from this.
Don't get me anything political.
Yeah.
You know, I'm going to watch handsmaids or whatever that movie was that Sidney's
queenie was in.
Yeah.
You know, I'm going to watch Avatar.
I just need to escape from whatever.
the fuck these conversations are online that are just causing me dread.
Yeah, it does make you feel dread.
Like, my phone is just, it's a Viking simulator.
What does that mean?
It's just, it's only fans, girls, and then just death.
Like, it's just like, pillaging and sex.
It's just like, every time I scroll, it's just like the most base human primal instinct
of just, like, carnage, hot girl.
Like, it's just like, literally it's just like, it's, yeah, I think it's bad for people's
brains.
And I think detaching and tending to your garden and just actually.
like interfacing with real human beings that you love and care about is probably the most
effective yeah this guy got a roof and a garden like god he's living right he's living
yeah bro let me hose um I know his whole I don't shower thing is so we don't know exactly
he got it like that let me hold on let me hold on if you have enough you're rich I'm telling you
dude you's got log off log off the internet everyone quit it doesn't matter it's over it's over
The internet is a failure.
Right after this episode.
No, right now.
I want you guys to log on.
Right now.
It doesn't matter, dude.
No, it's true.
Right now, after this ad break.
Call your, hug your children.
Okay?
The words of Mother Teresa,
if you want to change the world,
love your family, dude.
That's not the only thing that actually matters.
Did she have a family?
She was a sister.
Had many sisters.
Yeah, that was good.
That was good.
That was good.
Thousands of sisters.
So close.
So close, Mama T.
So close.
Half Indian.
What'd you say?
She's half Indian.
Yeah.
That's Mark asked me if I...
Was she a Albanian, too?
Yeah, Indian-Albanian, I think.
And what a connection, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Indian Albanian.
It's a good mix.
How do you even get that?
Really, probably you had to get mistreated by a lot of men.
Really, you know what I mean?
Like, it was rough, dude.
Finding Jesus was the best thing you had ever.
Even direction she went, it was going to be abusive.
insane.
The perfect man,
turns out.
She was ethnically Indian?
So, so?
No idea.
I had no idea.
That's what I thought you asked me
if I had like ill feelings toward him.
You said that in the way
you were disappointed.
What's wrong with that?
Hey, bro.
Shut out the Albania's, bro.
What's wrong with that?
I thought she was birded up.
I thought she was full black bird.
That's what I thought it was.
All right, that's better.
That's better, bro.
I thought she was talking shit.
You're not going to be able to eat
a famigli of pizza in New York City again
if you keep talking shit about the Albanians, bro.
They run the pizza shops in New York City.
Shout out to y'all.
Wait, what is this? Pro Football
Champions? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The playoffs
have also been awesome.
Yo, right when we needed great distraction,
this is why you think it might be a simulation?
It's just like right when America's about to tear itself
apart, we're fucking invading all these countries with no good
reason whatsoever. Can you pull up the Caleb play,
Joey? Football steps in and it's absolutely
fantastic. I'm fucking believe.
You watched the Bears and the Rams game.
Yeah, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was the greatest football game.
You went to the game?
No, he watched, no, he just watched it.
I never watched a football game, really.
You turned the TV on, this is, someone else had it on.
Yeah, okay.
Actually, Zom, you know Zom, you know Zom.
You know, he took me around at Salt Lake and then on the way home.
He's a good guy.
He messed up his shoulder on the last run.
He did so much great stuff for us, and then some kid hit him from behind and broke his shoulder.
Oh, brutal.
Yeah.
And then drove home the whole.
way one-handed watching the game and I was like going to drive he's like no that's fine and he's
he's a snowboard instructor like he has to be out there oh yeah I don't know the exact diagnosis but I think
he's okay so let me walk you through this game Chicago we talk about Zom I got I don't know this man
I don't know he's a good guy next thing you go out there he's going to take a snowboard
shout Zom I hope you're okay he's Indian by the way oh oh is there go fund me
I'm sorry what is Zom short for
Zumb in there
Zandbinder.
Sestrika, G, are you okay, dude?
I'll send you some money, man.
Let me know.
Indies bring out the best of my gosh, man.
You're a beautiful soul as long as...
Or in the worst.
Yeah, let me know how...
Let me let you know how cheap I am.
Tell me.
I did a very kind thing where, like, it was cold.
You got to get gas.
We got gas in New Jersey.
And it was fucking freezing.
I saw it was Indian dude pumping gas.
older. So I tipped him. And all I had on me was 100. So I gave him the 100. And that shit
still hurts my feelings to this day. Like it's still, I'm like, God damn, dude. I didn't have a
fucking 20 on me. Damn. Damn. Both these guys. But you tip it a hundred. This guy got gone.
Damn, bro. Can we get some? Yo, what's up? Can we get some? Yeah. We got to check the books.
Damn. You can we do. Tire you. We got check the books. Son, if he was any other race, I'd have been like,
Hey man, sorry it's cold.
Room, room, room.
Come on.
But as an Indian, all they're Indian, I'm seeing him fucking bundled up.
You know how cold it was yesterday?
It's almost as cold as it was this morning.
And 17 degrees, if those of you weren't listening.
And this guy's out there pumping gas.
I felt so bad.
I gave him whatever I had.
And if he was an Indian, I wouldn't have done it.
But this is how cheap I am.
That shit is eating away at me.
I woke up this morning.
I was like, God damn it.
So now you've got to go back a few times.
Don't tip.
Bounce the scale.
Decent weather.
I'm going to do that.
Give me a 50 degree day.
Probably not going to happen until May.
But I'm going to go back.
I'm going to look for that same motherfucker.
What kind of Indian, do you know?
Catholic Indian.
Who usually owns the gas stations?
It's usually Punjabi or Gujarati.
Or Gujarati.
Yeah. Usually Punjabi.
Second option, Gujarati.
Okay, so Punjabis are the gas stations and the hotels, right?
Goodrathis are hotels.
Oh, I thought the Punjabis are not there.
Goodrathis are hotels, dude.
But it is one ethnic group of Indians that own like 80% of motels in America.
Patels.
The Patel Hotel. Cartel, yeah.
They call it the Patel Cartel.
Yeah.
Patel Hotel Cartel.
Yeah, that's kind of nice.
Can I just tell you something?
That's fine.
That's fine.
I like that.
They're doing a fantastic job.
I want to get down with that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because nobody's even brought it up.
Oh, that, yeah.
Like, if we had a problem with it,
people would be like, well, why the fuck does 80% of the...
No, there will be YouTube videos soon.
Yeah.
Of course.
But like, when I'm saying, it's like, nobody's doing...
Surely?
Investigates!
The motel-addicted Punjabi.
But like nobody brings up a single issue about it.
There's no...
It is something interesting about Indians.
Well, when...
Nobody's upset at the fucking subway sandwiches.
Yeah, oh, that's all Indian.
Son, I went to London or England
and I was, the subways were owned by Indians.
I was like, goddamn, dude, this is international.
So what does that say?
Do we like...
That you shouldn't trust a subway subject here.
You can't like to.
Why?
Why?
Yo, when you think they started putting yoga mats in the food,
that didn't seem fishy to any of the...
The crossover is...
too perfect. I knew there was a connection there.
You guys love trains, dude. You heard subway, you're like,
yeah, you like, this is good. Oh, man, dead ass. I don't trust the subway.
Son, we went to India, got sick, the subway in India, and we got sick on the way.
I don't know why we ate it twice. We ate subway in America before we left, got sick in America.
Then went ahead and India got more sick.
I take back what I said about Indians bring out the best in our own.
I told you.
I took him 60 seconds before. He was like, fuck all these motherfuckers.
I ate there twice. I support my dollars. I buy Brown-Owen. What about y'all?
We buy Brown-Own, too. We were saying we love the hotel chains that they're doing.
And we love Subway. But we'd have no criticisms about it. It's all we're coming from you.
Crab's in a barrel. I like chai from your chai spot. I don't know the name, but I like it.
Fonty's. Fonthanius.
Yeah. You're just close. Is that right down the block?
Fonty's, yeah. It's 15-minute walk probably is West Village. Fonty's of the chain.
Went a little viral. Yeah.
Really? Yeah, they got sandwiches there that are very good as well. I and the chies.
What kind of sandwiches?
They have like a...
Subs.
Yoga mat bread.
No, they're good, dude.
They have like a chicken stick up panini.
Panini, like a butter chicken or non-ini it's called.
So it's non as a panini bread.
Even noyo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just like Indian culture.
It's true.
The Indian food hybrid is fire.
There was a spot in my town that was Indian Mexican food.
And it was like Indian butter burritos.
Yuba city shout out.
Fire.
Yeah.
And it's so like, like, cassidia with like bariani.
It's unbelievable.
There's a taco mahal all.
Also, tacos with butter chicken.
Great.
Crazy.
Yeah.
See, this is the beauty of diversity.
You know what?
Bring them together.
Only in New York.
You know what?
That is only in New York.
And Central Florida.
Everybody, yo, shout out, first of all, shout out Mexicans.
Because it's almost all of the mixed cuisines are just your shit and Mexican.
Right?
It's like, here's an Asian thing, but Mexican.
Now, Indian Asian is Indo-Chinese.
But that's the same thing.
We got that fired
Chinese Puerto Rican spot
in LES.
That's, you know.
What I'm saying is like,
people love the Latin food
so much,
and then they realize people love it,
so what they do is they put their shit
on the Latin food.
In the same way they like white people
white up Indian food,
like other cultures have realized
like, okay, Latin food is fire.
So let's just do our shit
on top of the Latin,
and then it's going to work.
And it works every single fucking time.
Yeah.
Can I name one I went to recently?
Please.
Fire.
Shalom, Japan.
Pan.
Oh, he's feeling better now.
Jewish.
Jewish.
Japanese.
Double Jap.
It was fire, dude.
That is...
That is fantastic.
Jap squared, dude.
Japs squared is fucking incredible.
And Miles is so depressed
that he didn't even give it a chuckle.
Come on, bro.
No, that's a fun.
It's a fire.
Dude. Yeah, I play Sprules.
Check that one out, too. That's a great one.
It's in Williamsburg.
Miles, what's wrong, man?
Yeah, why you said?
I promise nothing's wrong.
No, something's wrong.
We don't feel the positivity.
We don't feel the excitement from you, man.
Everything's great.
I don't know how to...
I don't know how to win here.
You know what's bad?
He doesn't want to even bring it.
It's really bad, isn't it?
Oh, it's fine.
Yo, Shifty, what's going on with Miles, man?
You got to be in a mic.
You guys shipped in trouble for snitching last option.
So he's not going to say shit now?
Yeah, he's solid.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, fine.
Yo, can we watch this football play, please?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, brother.
Half black people are capable of, Al,
because this could be your kid.
This thing is crazy.
Yo, look at this.
Fourth and four, 27 seconds.
Look at this fucking play.
Caleb Williams, a bear's right.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Is that not the craziest shit you've ever seen?
That's incredible.
That's truly the craziest play I've ever seen.
scene of my life. That was impressive. Fourth and four, he's at the Rams 14-yard line. He runs back
27 yards. He goes all the way back to the 40 and then just throws the fucking off both feet.
No feet on the ground. Just throws it. Touchdown. Ties the game. And then he throws a pick and they
lose it in overtime, which is the saddest shit. Which quarterback is that? Caleb Williams.
So what are we thinking for the championship games? I think the Rams, they have a, they're 27% on Kalshi. I think
that's a good bet because Seattle's
they dominated San Francisco. Oh my God.
But people don't necessarily
trust their quarterback in big moments.
Matthew Stafford is a bad motherfucker.
And for the Rams, dude, he had a game winning
drive against the Patriots in the first playoff game.
Right before the drive starts,
he goes up to Devante Adams, another receiver,
and he goes, hey, let's go snatch their hearts out.
And he just does exactly that.
Far.
So it's a phenomenal touchdown pass. I love a cold-ass white boy.
Yeah, dude, I love a cold-ass white boy.
Yeah, let's go snatch their hearts.
Boom.
I think they win it.
They haven't been playing great, but I think they're the team.
But only a 27% chance.
Yeah, that's why I feel like the odds are kind of the best there.
Seahawks, it got 40.
I just don't.
Most people don't really trust Sam Darnold in the biggest moments.
Who's their quarterback?
People want, it'd be great.
But if I had to put it down, I'd say Los Angeles just because they got good odds.
Denver's fucked.
If they want, I'd be astonished.
What a fucking shame.
I know, dude.
Their quarterback got injured with three plays left in overtime.
Yeah.
And then on the kneel, when you, like, kneel the ball down, it got worse, it seems like,
because he started limping really badly, broke his ankle out for the rest of the season.
No.
So the bills aren't in it.
Yeah, Josh Allen.
And the Broncos are just going to end up losing anyway.
And that was a kind of shitty call.
I mean, I don't know.
What was your take on the...
So they had one, like, 50-50 ball that every official seems to say was an interception
against the bills and, like, the Broncos got the ball.
They said it was...
Every official says it was an interception.
And why do they consider an interception?
I don't know, because to me, you catch the ball.
So the receiver catches a ball, his knee is down, he gets touched.
It's his ball.
So catches it down.
And then after he's down, so I guess the argument they're making is that he didn't have clear possession of the ball.
It was shared possession and then it was ripped out.
Yeah.
Like they both have possession, I imagine there.
Is that the argument?
Yeah, I guess they're saying he doesn't have clear possession so it's incomplete.
Well, so it's not in anybody's possession and then it doesn't touch the ground and then this Bronco intercepts.
Oh, that makes sense.
Which could be valid.
Okay.
So maybe it wasn't as bad a call.
people are making it. But yeah, I think we all just want the bills to win. Yeah.
The bills, they live for Buffalo. Josh Allen seems awesome. So this is another one, right?
Because last year, he's five, six years in a row, just heartbreaking loss after heartbreaking loss.
And if you grew up in the time that we grew up, you saw the bills go through this.
Yeah. Four years in a row. Four years in a row, they lost a super bowl. And it's like, they live for that team, dude.
And seeing how emotional he was afterwards? Oh, he's tearing out. I let my teammates down.
Did you see what his offensive linemen? Did you see that? So they're interviewing, I think, is one of his old linemen. And they're like,
Josh said that he feels like he let his teammates down,
and this is a big O-line man.
And he just starts crying.
He has to turn away from the camera.
He goes, he didn't let us out.
He has to turn away.
It's kind of beautiful.
Yeah, man.
It is beautiful.
It's a great game.
And now that I have no team because I've given up on the Cowboys,
I can just watch and root for a team every game.
And yeah, we're having fun.
Yeah.
I was hoping the Bears would be the Rams.
The Rams won.
I'm rooting for them.
It's fine.
I have no loyalty.
I'm just watching a game.
I have a team.
I kind of like better.
And then I enjoy it.
This is it right here.
You know, how come Noah's, like, the whole CTE thing, that just...
Nah, we over that, bro.
Yeah.
Why didn't Michael Jordan molest kids?
What?
Hold on us.
Michael Jackson.
Why didn't I guess?
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, bleep that.
Bleak that, bleep that.
Believe that.
That's a mislead that in.
That's a misleafed that in.
Oh, gosh, you got to do like a lap or something.
Yeah, that's crazy.
You know how many sneakers we got to sell?
Let me sit this way for a bit.
You're right.
I'm in timeout.
Y'all go ahead.
Finish that.
Get back here.
Bro. That's crazy.
No, that is so confident.
Yeah, I really thought I had you, dude.
Fucking unbelievable.
Oh, yeah.
Why'd you even bring that up?
What did Michael Jackson molest and kids got to do with anything?
It's too fun to just listen to the music and dance and have a good time.
Oh, that's why we're saying.
So we'll turn a blind eye.
It would have been a good point if I got it.
We've been a great point.
Really shut shit down.
What's history saying about that now that Mike is dead?
Like, is it he did it or?
There's a black history and a white history.
It's very similar to OJ.
Truth is unknowable.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wait, so whites think he did it?
Choose your truth.
Yes, dude.
I don't think he did it.
Well, what a surprise.
I think you just proved my point.
Mark, what do you think?
To be honest, I have not looked into it, but...
Because he knows he would think he did it.
Yeah, because I don't want to know.
Mark not researching something.
You know how crazy that is?
Oh, yeah, okay.
Yeah.
That's interesting.
What are you about you?
I don't think he did it.
I don't.
I thought he was just a little stunted in the head.
I think he's stunted like in growth.
Yeah, I think he's just sharing a bed with kids, which is weird, very weird, but I don't think he was like thinking sexual.
I think there was inappropriate things there.
Like, you shouldn't share a bed with kids.
Yeah.
But I don't think that he was like fucking a morat.
Yeah.
I don't think so.
I have no opinion on it.
I'm not white or black.
This is based on not reading any of the evidence.
This is based purely on my perception of Michael Jackson.
Yes, this is the way you should go about information.
This is how I feel, and I'm going to just feel what I feel, and that's fine.
Yeah, but my feelings don't align with one side every single time.
That's the problem.
Like, there are some people who, where they, like, force their feelings, maybe in their opinion before anything comes in.
Exactly, right?
It was, that's what you're saying about the Minneapolis thing.
It's just a Worshack test.
It's like whatever you already felt you're going to see in every single video, right?
but my feelings don't align.
So now you're thrust into this situation
where you're like, okay, well, I feel this way about this thing
and this thing about this thing.
And then there's really, I think most normal people
would be like, yeah, I have differing opinions on different things.
But the group think is completely siloed.
And it's a much easier way to go through life, I imagine, online.
But regular life probably makes you horrible
because every person you meet that is a normal human being
that has varied opinions on the world,
you're either judging them or feel judged by them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So their experience online is probably much more pleasant because it's just reinforcing what they already feel.
And their experience in life is probably miserable.
Yeah.
I don't think they talk about their opinion.
Or they create those silos in life too.
Yeah.
And then it's just reinforced.
And they probably live online a lot.
Yeah, I feel like they live online.
Yeah.
Yeah, we talk about kids with screens, dude.
Old people with screens.
That's even more.
It is terrified.
Good point.
We talk about screen time for little kids.
Like, oh, they're getting radicalized.
Dude, it's like the 75-year-old dude that's at home that doesn't talk to his kids,
that doesn't have any friends that is just getting inundated with, like, Twitter.
And we used to complain about Fox News.
We're like, oh, they're just watching Fox News.
That's bad.
Now, if they're on YouTube.
Yeah, they know YouTube now, for it.
It's over.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's over.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Yeah, we got to get screen time limits for the elderly.
I need screen time limits.
I'm watching too much body cam footage.
Oh, yeah, I love the body cam.
I thought you were going to say, I thought you were going to say,
porn and then he said the same thing.
What do you mean you're watching too much body
body cam footage? I'm like of what happened in
Minneapolis? No, no.
I've ordered that one.
There's these channels, shout out
EWU and Midwest Safety,
that just have the most insane
thumbnails and titles
and I'll just put one on and do the dishes
and follow through with the whole
thing. So to relax, you
watch black people get chased by the cops?
No, not black people.
That's the best part.
Generally, it's not black people.
It's usually like a white trash family.
And like the one I watched last night,
a white kid killed his mom.
And then they're like,
what happened? What happened?
He's like, some guy came and killed my mom.
And I don't know.
And I just watch it.
And then he goes in the interrogation room.
And I just watch the whole thing, top the bottom.
And then another one.
Shifty, Shifty.
Internet is cooked, bro.
Shifty and I were talking about this yesterday.
Shifty had a great take.
Shifty, are you willing to?
respond with words and not memes?
He has a
rolydicks of memes that he can respond to
in any way to form. But
what is your take about how
legacy media is now punk
rock? What was the take?
It's like anyone can post on the
internet now. So like anything
you can see on the internet usually is going to be more
slop and you have a little bit more
trust and something that's on like legacy media
because it's more money
went into it the most talented people usually worked
on it and you're not speaking about
news per se you're speaking about like
HBO Netflix Hulu
Paramount Plus whatever yeah and
then legacy is caught up to where
they'll just like SNL like just takes the
like talented people
off social and it puts them on TV
so it's an interesting thing that's happened
like the shift which is
legacy media was locked into those like cable
contracts you know for a while so they were kind
had their hands tied behind their back in their ability to put stuff online. And also,
there are all these new streaming networks that were coming out, like a Paramount Plus and shit.
And like, people are like, what the fuck is a Paramount Plus? Another thing I got to sign up for.
What is all this shit? Now, if a show is good, regardless of what streaming network it's on,
people will find it. Like, you're watching Pluribus on Apple, right? With Severance, I think,
was on Apple too. Taylor Sheridan Universe is on Paramount Plus, and I think other channels as well.
like you can kind of get to every show.
It doesn't feel like there's that barrier of entry
that like maybe four years ago,
if you had an HBO show.
Yeah, yeah.
Not an HBO show.
If you had like a show on an obscure streamer,
it might just die.
Yeah.
You know?
So,
Cobra Kai was on YouTube Red at first
and then it died,
then Netflix picked it up.
And then it was huge.
And but I think part of that was the fact
that like everybody had Netflix.
Yeah.
And but to your point,
it's like YouTube Red, who has it?
I can't find it,
even though the show was good.
And, yeah,
it's just interesting that like all these all these networks now that they're not like shackled to
cable where nobody was watching tv are now putting like a new crop of young talent on their shows
and whereas before when they couldn't really take risks you had to just put the legacy people
like they brought back rosan because it's like this is the only way we can get people to watch cable
on ABC so now you're having young people who would probably be like influencers or like social media
stars now being snatched up and some of them were influencers social media stars or in that
show in LA I love LA or something like that so it's like so it's like you have you basically
Hollywood is doing what it had always done but there was like a five year weight but now they are
consuming all the talented people online and I think what you'll see is the stranger things cast
will be like the next crop of movie stars who knows if it works
but I think, like, the guy who played Steve Harrington, like Joe Keeling,
they're going to give him movies.
He's going to get a few shots to blow.
Like, I wouldn't be surprised if he was in some Marvel shit.
Right.
Like, and I think that if you see young people that you're familiar with
and you've built, like, these parasocial relationships with,
maybe that is the impetus to go watch their shows
or even maybe go to the movies.
Before, when it's a young kid going to watch another Tom Cruise movie
and that young kid's like, I never grew up watching Tom Cruise.
I don't really have a connection to who he is.
I don't need to leave the House to Watch Mission Impossible,
and it was basically all on us.
So basically everything I said about movies a few weeks ago,
I'd go against it.
Classic, classic flip-lop.
No, I don't know.
I don't know movies back.
Well, like, to Shifty's point,
which I thought was really interesting,
is that people might want to escape,
and now networks are creating a lot of shows.
They're, like, unshackled by any kind of, like,
woke stuff that they're a little worried about.
Like, there's just, like, heartland shows.
Yeah.
You know, that don't feel like they have to,
to meet any, like, diversity requirement
or they don't have to, like, police language.
They'll just tell whatever fucking hillbilly story
they want. People are finding it.
They're flourishing. And then they've got, like, the
coastal elite shows, like, I love L.A.
And I'm sure there's some shit in New York for HBO.
And people are
finding it. I don't know. I don't know if you guys are feeling this.
But it does feel like the consumption
patterns are gravitating back towards
network television a bit.
By network, I mean, like, streaming.
You know, maybe some of the writers
block or the...
strike where there's like this big lagging content.
That's a good, oh, man.
And now it's like they're catching up.
Plus COVID.
Yeah.
Like both those things happening back to back.
I think there was just a dearth of good streaming content.
Yeah.
And the explosion of like sort of non-centralized creator content, they kind of shook up,
shook up the industry.
And then now we're kind of like regressing back to what that normal averages.
So I don't know if people ever like stop, stop watching TV.
I think like it just took streamer's time to kind of catch up with what the new paradigm is.
Yeah.
100%.
Or it could also be they're making TV dumber.
And what was that that?
Second screen.
Yeah, get that clip up from like Ben and Matt on, you know what was really great about seeing Ben on, on, on Rogan and like seeing Ben and Matt.
It was like Ben played the dumb guy in Goodwill Hunting.
Yeah.
And I think we assumed he was dumb.
Yes.
And it wasn't until 30 years later, we're watching him in a long-length podcast and we're like, oh, this guy's fucking brilliant.
Oh, they both went to Harvard?
Yeah.
Both geniuses?
What the fuck is going on?
Because, yeah, Ben is speaking with, like, profound confidence about an industry that he knows incredibly well, obviously.
But just, like, really great observations.
You, how did that Marty Supreme movie do?
Did it, like...
Without knowing anything, I would guess it did extremely well.
That's my feeling.
So that means it's right.
Exactly.
Yeah, that's my reality.
It made a lot of money, which is really good for the film industry.
and it showed that people go out to movies.
I don't know if it made...
If it was profitable, per se.
Oh, okay.
I was thinking maybe it was the opposite.
Maybe it made money because it was low budget
and then it didn't gross a ton.
No, no, I think they were really excited about what it gross,
but again, it was an expensive movie to make.
It's like, it was like that Leonardo Capri movie,
the, what is it called?
One problem after another.
It's like that movie made a lot of money.
It was just really expensive to make it.
Yeah, to market it.
So if ping pong, it was.
movie was expensive to make?
Yeah.
I mean...
Huge.
Yeah.
Why?
It's a...
No CGI, no...
Like, what?
What was expensive about it?
I mean, cast and locations and like...
Shooting New York is probably expensive.
Like, making everything reflect the time is probably expensive.
Yeah.
Costuming.
Like...
Yeah.
And also just, uh, this variety article says, uh, from yesterday, it's A24's highest grossing
film at domestic box office with 80 million, beating out every, every, every,
everything everywhere all at once.
Oh, wow, dude.
Also still didn't break you then.
Yeah, that's the thing.
Is it like, but again, the fact that it's generating, I think is a better indicator because
you can always make films for less money.
You can get actors to say, okay, instead of doing it for $20 million, I'll do it for 10.
Like, you can tell Leonardo Capra nowadays, you can be, listen, movies don't make what they did
10 years ago when we can give you $25 million in a piece at a box office.
But if you're willing to do it for 10, I think that we can make a profitable movie.
I'm just really surprised because the amount of marketing and, you know,
And, like, you were seeing the lead everywhere, the promotion that they did.
I thought that was going to...
I thought that movie was going to go.
For this type of movie, I think that's exceptional.
Yeah.
Like, it's a movie based on a story that nobody really knows or cares about.
Brand new IP, which is awesome.
Yeah, that they're pushing for something.
I mean, back in the day, our stars did that with brand-wip.
And there was...
I think it was a different consumption pattern.
I think we were willing to take chances on an obscure movie about...
poker. You know,
I mean, we watched, what was that movie?
Rounders. Yeah, I didn't watch it
in theaters, but yeah, it became this cult thing.
Oh, it was awesome. I caught it on stars
because there was no phone. I had cable,
I was so happy. I see this movie. I watch that.
Oh, this is amazing. So, like, this
is, I think we were willing
to take some chances because it's just part of
what we did as kids. Like, I remember literally
on Friday after school.
Like, is there a movie coming out? Let's go sneak into it.
Four, four film? What was that? You would call
the phone number and it would give you all the show
times for the movie in your area.
Movie phone. Yeah. There was a Seinfeld episode
that's funny where Chandler's, or Kramer's phone number
is 444 for Filk, so he just pretends to be movie phone.
It's really funny. It's great. But Matt Damon also
had the point in another clip where he said like also because
people aren't buying home movies anymore, they just can't make as much.
Because you would make X amount in theaters if the budget was this,
and then it would get released on VHS or DVD or whatever,
and then all these people would buy it, and then he'd make
more money. But I thought
you can purchase to stream it.
But you're purchasing it instead of going to the theaters.
You can rent it for $2.99, but you're not, most people don't buy it for $10.
Like remember when people had DVD collections?
Yeah.
Do you remember that?
I remember Blu-ray?
Blue-ray?
I'm going to get every Blu-ray.
Yeah.
There was a war.
I thought that shit.
I always thought it was so dumb.
I was like, I can't tell the quality difference.
How many times are you going to like want to watch the same movie?
All right, here.
This is interesting.
Play this clip about the reiterating the plot three or four times.
The standard way to make an action movie that we learned was,
usually have like three set pieces.
They kind of ramp up
and the big one with all the explosions
and you spend most of your money on that one
in the third act.
That's your kind of finale.
And now they're like,
can we get a big one in the first five minutes?
We want people to stay tuned in.
And it wouldn't be terrible
if you reiterated the plot three or four times
in the dialogue because people are on their phones
while they're watching, you know what I mean?
So here's the thing.
And then there was another conversation about
when people are watching it on your phone
or you're watching it on an iPad,
it doesn't lend itself to the cinematography that what was that movie leo did in like narwhal land
oh inception revenant you know like these beautiful landscapes and you're taking all this time you're
shooting a magic hour like and i think it was mad making a point where it's like if people aren't consuming
them on devices where you can appreciate that type of cinematography it becomes less valuable
so then maybe they're shooting things a little bit more flat or something i don't know
But this is interesting.
It's like, what are you supposed to do?
If you know people are looking at their phones while you're watching the movie at home,
yeah.
Are you supposed to be like, well, fuck them.
If they don't watch it, they don't watch it.
Or do you do things that accommodate this new form of viewing?
Vertical.
Vertical drama.
No, I mean, I've seen that.
But I guess the artist in you goes, I'm going to make it no matter what.
I'm going to make it how I want to make it matter what, 100%.
And then there's also a part of you, the artist part that goes, I want people to see my art.
Not in terms of like for making money off it, but because like I poured my heart into something and I want them to watch it.
If they hate it, they hate it, they love it, they love it.
But like, you know, you don't have to share your art.
If you choose to share it, you know, you want people to be able to consume it.
Yeah, I wonder if it's different types of audiences you're trying to hit, I guess.
You know, like maybe there's certain projects you're like, okay, this is going to be for mass consumption.
I'm going to hit as many people.
It's going to be two screen viewing.
I'm going to have an explosion in the first five.
And then you can pick projects where, like, this is going to be a pure piece of art that ultimately, like, pulls up the artistic, you know, core of the audience.
Like, I'm not going to capitulate to the algorithmic overlords that force me to go to humanity's base instinct, which is, like, you know, constant dopamine.
I need to just, like, feel something at all times.
Beautifully set.
You go, like, I'm going to pull up the, I don't know, the human, like, artistic, you know, higher brain.
I'm going to, I'm going to appeal to your highest level of artistic.
integrity and intellect.
I'm not going to drop to the lowest level of it.
Yeah.
I think that you can do that, and then all of a sudden you've got to be like,
but we're making this move for $20 million.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
And I think that the actors got to be okay
kind of losing money on stuff.
Yeah.
Like, I don't know, I was listening to a podcast with,
I forgot this guy's name.
It was Alex O'Connor and another dude who's like a art historian that talks about.
Nick Fuentes.
Yeah, might have been.
I think he really loves one agent artist.
Yeah, one specific painter.
It was just about like architecture.
Like, what is architecture supposed to do?
You walk around a city and, like, you see a beautiful building.
Like, it inspires you to, like, think about the divine or think about, like, literature, like, whatever.
Like, back in the day, like, they would lose money on these public works projects to make something beautiful.
Exactly, yeah, this guy.
The cultural tutor.
Whereas now it's, like, all things kind of exist for, you know, like, the new god is capitalism.
And capitalism requires cheap materials and simple building designs and, like, sort of ugly kind of amorphous boxes.
Tucker was making this point, too.
I heard him.
Thank goodness.
Yeah.
Good company.
But no, something about, like, putting time and effort into these government buildings created
a relationship between the government.
And I don't know if you, I could be butchering this, but like, there was a relationship
between the people and the government that these places were not there to oppress them, right?
That these were, like, beautiful things, beautiful institutions that they could be proud of.
I don't know if that's how you get the greatest relationship between government and people.
But when you do look at the old buildings in New York City, you know, like even in this neighborhood,
There's a couple, I don't want to expose where we are, but there's that like beautiful old, I don't know if it's a government building or like an old bank or something like that.
And it's like, they ain't making those anymore.
They're not putting the time in to have this perfect dome, archways and all this other shit.
Like, no developer in New York is going to get a fucking permit, one, to do that.
And two, take the time and lose the money to do it.
So then you just build a studio.
Yeah.
But yeah, you need some type of like higher calling that's philosophical, whether it's like,
God or nationalism or something to make you be like, I'm down to lose money.
And ultimately, like, you hope that art pulls people up to, like, their higher self where
like they can appreciate something beautiful.
That's probably the idea with, like, the public park, right?
Yeah.
It's like Central Park is probably the most valuable real estate on the planet.
Yeah.
Like the park itself.
Yeah.
And they could easily siphon little bits off and sell them to developers and make fucking
high rises and also.
But they made a commitment for whatever reason that we're not going to do that.
and it's important to have this space,
and they meticulously designed it.
Like, it's beautiful.
You can walk a fucking Central Park,
and it's beautiful.
And I think it's a cool thing.
I think it's a cool thing to go,
hey, we're going to, in the capital of capitalism,
we are not going to extract wealth from this fucking thing.
We're going to lose money on this thing right here
because it's important that people have a place.
I think we wish they could get the horse shit out,
but other than that, it's phenomenal.
Yeah, yeah, I'm good with the horses.
You know, you know, the likable way of saying that,
be like, we got to stop these horse carriages because it's brutalizing the horses.
Akach is like, if we could just make them not shit, I'd be totally fond of it.
Both end.
Yeah.
I have an Akash prediction, which is like something that he's probably wrong, but on a technicality,
you'll get it right every once in a while.
I think that all the vertical viewing, like vertical dramas and shit like that,
that's going to be bigger than movies and TV.
Explain these vertical dramas.
Everybody keeps talking about these things.
It's big in China.
It's big in Asia already.
It's getting bigger here.
They're just shooting everything for vertical.
So it's a TV short drama, probably maybe between five to 20 minutes, something between there.
And then, yeah, they're doing all the same production value, lighting and everything, but they just cameras just this way.
And the whole thing is meant to watch.
So it's Quibi.
But it's available on TikTok or available on YouTube shorts or these other platforms.
But it's like the production value, like what they're putting out is amazing.
Are they the same characters and the storylines and the characters carrying through?
Or is it each one is its own little soap opera?
And then when that's done is over?
No, there's some shows that are continuous.
And they're like 30-minute shows?
No, some are like five-minute shows.
Yeah, okay.
And it's just enough where it's like, oh, okay, I can invest five minutes.
I can see that winning.
I'll jump into that prediction.
And then you just pay like, oh, $1 an episode.
And they are just printing fun.
Oh, you're paying directly to watch, like on TikTok shop or something like that.
Interesting.
that this will be bigger than the film industry?
Yes.
Yep.
Hot take.
It's a tough one, but maybe.
The film industry is constantly every year.
It's getting smaller and smaller.
Well, this is the film industry,
but they just found a different way to...
This is an example of one right here?
Yeah.
It's 41 minutes.
It's 41 minutes?
This doesn't look...
Some are really bad.
Yeah, some are bad.
Like, whatever.
But it's a new industry.
It's like white people's tuby.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess.
But it's like, hit.
No, Schultz, you're so right with that.
There's some on TikTok where, like, you can tell they're trying and they're filming.
Some in the Asian markets with, like, the subtitles look unbelievably, like good.
Some in the American market that are coming out, it'll be like an Italian guy walks in the room.
He's like, how you doing?
Thada-ba!
Like, it's overacted, it's bad lighting.
Like, they're getting there.
But some are quite bad.
But people are watching them.
Like, the views are insane?
Yeah, and the drama is immediate.
It'll be like, you've shot my wife.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then that's the wife.
Yeah.
It's very funny.
It's going to be huge.
Hmm.
It very much feels like soap operas.
This looks like an Indian soap opera.
Let this be a lesson to you.
Nobody touches Arya.
It's actually a lot like Bollywood.
Yeah.
That's fine.
It's like over.
Everything is like extra.
That's like a Bollywood soap opera.
A lot of like whatever the cuts.
Yeah, we're biting your shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's coming full circle.
Isn't that wild?
Hollywood is ripping off Batman.
Yeah.
And now we're ripping off Bollywood.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Damn. You're welcome.
Where we out on time, Mus?
Just over an hour and 40.
Oh, wow.
You want to go to Patreon?
Yeah, we got to go hit Patreon.
Boys, we're going over to Patreon right now, patreon.com slash flagrant.
We will see you guys there.
Love y'all.
Appreciate y'all.
Peace.
Go bless.
